The site is in the monitoring phase with annual reporting. Semi-annual updates are provided to the agency in between the annual reporting events. The most recent Annual Report was received on March 11, 2020, and approved by ADEQ.

ADEQ met with the Volunteer on April 29, 2020, to review site status and discuss ideas for potentially optimizing the current remedy of monitored natural attenuation (MNA).

A plan to propose a reduced well monitoring network is expected in the late second quarter 2020.
